Global warming costs will be immense

From Seattle pi comes info that should give pause for thought to people who are scared that tackling global warming will be expensive - for of course the costs of warming itself will dwarf those required for actual effective action to stem the cooling:

Quote:
In a report released by the Pew Environment Group, two senior scientists put at $2.4 trillion - yes, trillion - costs that will be incurred if a melting Arctic loses its ability to cool the Earth's climate.

Drupal Views Gallery w customisation

Submitted by Martin Williams on Sat, 01/09/2010 - 15:50

I had long thought Drupal's Views module could help power a photo gallery, but was daunted by the prospect of actually creating one. Happily, though, KarenS has created the Views Gallery module - which makes it relatively easy to start a gallery.

Note that Views Gallery requires other modules, too: maybe you should install these first, and Views Gallery once all is ok. (I write this after Custom Pagers not working for me; not sure why.)

Typhoon threat to Taiwan increases with warming

Quote:
Global warming is raising the danger from typhoons, Taiwan experts warned Monday, saying the island may be hit in a year or two by a powerful storm like the one which killed more than 700 last August.

Typhoon Morakot dumped a record 3,000 millimetres (120 inches) of rainfall and caused massive mudslides in the south of the island, and the government should be prepared for similar disasters in the future, they said.

"A typhoon as powerful as Morakot is very likely to strike Taiwan in a year or two," said Wang Chung-ho, a research fellow at the Institute of the Earth Sciences at Taiwan's top academic body Academia Sinica.
